So I've made the rope launcher from Assassin's Creed but this
project would not be complete without making the hidden blade would it?
so what this is, is a blade that can be retracted and deployed through the flick of the wrist.,
so I've got all these bits of plate out and I'm going to assemble these in the appropriate
order. now I'm going to clamp them together and drill all the fixing holes through them
while they're all in one piece. so they're all in perfect alignment, because if you
try and do it separately, I'm not very good at drilling holes, they'll be all over the place,
so that's what we're going to do. now next thing we need to do is smooth the edges off,
and make sure that the plates that need to move move freely. so I'm going to need this machine.
this is a belt sander, and it's going to be my friend for the duration of this project.
look at that, look, so professional!
there we go bodies done,
they slide out nice and freely. now just got to do all the Springs and catches.
okay so what done I've cut these little notches in the side, and then inside them,
there's these little flappy gate things and they just pop in there like that.
Then they have to be sprung so they have to always be trying to be flicking open,
getting a spring in there a bit tight, so thinking outside the box,
I've just used a little round bits of neoprene because as long as it's spongy in some way,
that's the spring basic ally isn't it. so put them in there
and then what happens now this is our surrogate blade at the moment
so I've cut some little notches look in there and then you slide them in,
then when it flicks out it latches on that and it can't go back in,
and then you remove that gate and push it back down and then at the bottom one it locks on that,
and it can't get back out again now that obviously it's not just gonna move out itself,
now I'm going to make the spring system and the
release system so don't don't Oh fires itself in and out!
But that looks good so far, doesn't it? yes I would agree!
okay so we've got a blade, you slide that down there, and then the thing which I've
been working, on is this little beauty. this little spring, double spring thing.
now you put this on the top. I can't really demonstrate this without it all together,
because if I try and pull it along it just goes (boing) and flicks to bits. so this is all very
well. put the lid back on and then I need to make it so when you do that (gestures) it comes out.
right so that's turned a up-and-down action into a turning action, so now what we're going
to do is put like a little bit of cable system on it so then when I flick my wrist it comes out!
It's all going very well!
there we go, now obviously it needs attaching to my arm, but I'm gonna do that,
but you know finger through there, click, hidden blade that is a win. Now to see the
hidden blade working in all its glory click on the video up here. As well as that also made
the rope launcher from the game. that is also in that video. If you want to see how I made it
you click in this one. that's all good. now if you're not fortunate to own these in real life,
you'll just have to play them in the game, Assassin's Creed syndicate is out now, Colin
Furze channel if you want to subscribe, if you're on desktop there's a little button down here, if
you want a mobile click in the top right corner. you'll get the card to come up which is the links
for these videos. everything is magic it is all seamless. so there we go Assassin's Creed!
